Haydn & C.P.E. Bach: Cello Concertos

This latest release from Steven Isserlis features Haydn's two cello concertos. If these are the most accomplished contributions to the cello's burgeoning repertoire written in the eighteenth century, C.P.E Bach's Cello Concerto in A major is scarcely less fine. The program is completed by two charming rococo encores, Mozart's Geme la tortorella from La finta giardiniera and the Adagio from Boccherini's Cello Concerto in G major G480.
